Crude Oil CFDs - What to Expect in the Coming Months / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Boris_Dzhingarov

The oil market is globalised, and it works for 24 hours a day. It is also very sensitive, so prices are constantly fluctuating. This is why day traders can benefit from this market, particularly if they trade on oil prices with the help of CFDs (contracts for difference).

Gold and silver consolidated on those gains in Asia and in early European trading.

A Potential Life Changing Precious Metals Market / Commodities / Articles

By: Rambus_Chartology

The markets have a way to push you just beyond your limits to get you to do the wrong thing at the wrong time and then reverse on a dime. The bearish sentiment from just a casual observation over the last few weeks has felt like there was no way the bulls could rally the PM sector higher before there was a decent correction. In a new bull market the surprises come to the upside and not the downside.

Still Waiting for a Precious Metals "Correction"? Get Off the Dime and Buy Some Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: MoneyMetals

Over time, charts for a bull market tend to print higher highs and higher lows on the way to the primary top. Two steps forward, one step back, creating a visual stair-step effect.

This chart "picture" has been in evidence for gold, silver, and the miners since January.

Gold and Pork Bellies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Nick_Barisheff

Many investors and their financial advisors consider gold to be a commodity, which makes gold no different than copper, timber, pork bellies or orange juice. They do not understand, or simply are unaware, that gold has been successfully used as money for over 3,000 years. Although some people think it is an archaic relic, the facts don’t support this view. So, what is money?

Gold is traded on the currency desks of all major banks and brokerages, along with dollars, euros, yen and pounds, and not the commodity desks along with other commodities – the FX traders know gold is money.

Silver Is Insurance Against The Worst Part Of This Depression / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Hubert_Moolman

The worst part of the world's ongoing financial crisis is still on the way: A crisis that has its roots in the debt-based monetary system. The debt-based monetary system has facilitated the growth of debt, to levels that will inevitably bring total collapse.

Everyday we see more and more events (think Greece, Deutsche Bank, etc.) that suggest that the total collapse is very close. The number of these will increase over the coming months, while their extent will also greatly magnify.

How would you invest money you didn't need for ten years? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Michael_J_Kosares

One in six investors chose gold as the best place to park money they wouldn't need for more than ten years – the same number that chose stocks, according to a recent Bankrate survey. Another 6% chose bonds, while 25% chose real estate, and 23% said they would simply bank the money.

To the typical Wall Streeter, these results represent a world turned upside down. CNBC's Jim Cramer took one look and lamented, "As someone who has lived and breathed stocks for most of my life, this is a horrendous finding. But it's not surprising."

Silver Manipulation – Because They Needed the Eggs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

“It reminds me of that old joke- you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist's office and says, hey doc, my brother's crazy! He thinks he's a chicken. Then the doc says, why don't you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that's how I feel about relationships. They're totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs.” - Woody Allen

While there is no question of government enabling, (by decree or inaction), market manipulations haven’t really changed all that much in character over the centuries.

Gold Demand Remains Stable During Sector Weakness / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

My favorite indicator for real time Gold demand is the amount of Gold in the GLD and its fluctuations over time. As we wrote in our book , the driving force for Gold is investment demand which is driven by changes in real interest rates. Western-based investment demand from big money (i.e Stan Druckenmiller and George Soros) shows up mostly in the ETFs and specifically, GLD. The amount of Gold in GLD has risen steadily even as Gold consolidated a few months back and has been stable in recent weeks even as Gold and gold stocks correct their Brexit breakouts.

Gold And Silver – Debt Addiction Will Carry Precious Metals Higher, Guaranteed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Michael_Noonan

All is not so well within the elite’s New World Order. Their tried and true template of Problem-Reaction-Solution is in full gear as chaos reigns throughout the globe, which is exactly how the globalists like to see events unfold. Chaos [Problem] leads to unnerving situations [Reaction] amongst the masses that eventually cry out for resolve and a return to “normalcy” [Solution, but only as intended by the elites]. Invariably, a return to some kind of order requires the giving up of freedoms, and it often entails tightening the noose of economic hardship.

Sadly, the rinse-and-repeat familiarity of this Problem-Reaction-Solution scenario never seems familiar to the masses. Each time is “different,” that is to say the events may seem to be different, but the procedure of how the events unfold each and every time throughout history is never different.

By: Jason_Hamlin

Gold and silver prices ran out of momentum during the first week of July and have been drifting lower ever since. A deeper correction seems like a realistic expectation, but precious metals are showing strong signs of resiliency. Here are seven forces that should be creating headwinds for precious metals, but are barely having any impact.

Gold and Gold Stock Indices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

Investing in particular gold stocks gives exposure to movements in price of gold, but also to other factors affecting the gold mining industry, as well as company-specific strengths and weaknesses. This is why investors have to bear in mind the trends in the gold market as well as the mining industry, and wisely select appropriate stocks. One way to avoid the problem of selecting the promising shares (for instance for those that don’t have access to tools that would make the selection easier) is to invest in the index of gold mining companies.

Silver Bull Faces Correction / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Zeal_LLC

Silver’s young bull market got off to a typically-slow start, lagging gold’s own new bull.  But recently the white metal surged to catch up in a record summer rally.  That left silver very overbought and facing near-term correction risks led by a record futures selling overhang and weak late-summer seasonals.  But this strengthening bull still has a long ways higher to run yet before silver prices reflect prevailing gold levels.

Silver is something of an enigma.  By the global supply-and-demand numbers, it’s inarguably another industrial metal.  According to the venerable Silver Institute which gathers the world’s best fundamental data, industrial fabrication accounted for 50.3% of total demand last year.  That was followed by coins and bars at 25.0% and jewelry at 19.4%.  Most of the silver mined is consumed, not hoarded for investment.
